Faithful and efficient work by the Leroy Belk Post American Legion and its auxiliary has crowned Educa tion Week in Kershaw County with great success and much credit is due Commander Jack Whitaker, Jr., and the auxiliary president* Mrs. S.

We believe every school in the county was reached and we hope that seed were sown that shall bring forth an abundant harvest to the honor and credit qi the future citizen ship of South Carolina. The social editor was out on the campaign and did not get to hear the many splen did addresses given at the Camden high and grammar schools by Messrs. Hobson Hilton, Kirkland Trotter anil the Rev. I. deL. Brayshaw, Dr. Clarence Dunn and others. We did have the pleasure of hearing Mr. George Wittkowsky of the University, of South Carolina on illiteracy Thurs day morning and as usual George did himself proud. We also had the pleasure of hearing three fine ad dresses by the Rev. I deL. Brayshaw to the county schools. A brighter day is dawning for our state. Soon illiteracy shall be banished and with it a large percentage of crime "for1 vvd cannot legislate morale. The morale of a community largely de pends upon the character of its citi zens and this character must be formed in the home, the school, the church. The very, spring and root uf honesty and virtue lie in the felicity of lighting on good education. Its education forms the Common mind. ."Just as the twig is bent the 'ree is inclined/'1 Meeting of Hospital Auxiliary.

The November meeting of the Civic League was held at the grammar school auditorium and was wj&U' at* tended in spite of the fact that the publicity chairman fi^ed to announce it in the papers. . Nffs. William An crum presided an<| Mr?. H.'.G. (Harri son, Jr., was in her place as secretary. Thi>*~reflbrt from the recent enter tainment was very gratifying, quite a nice sum being realized for civic pur poses. I The league decided to donate $13 ?to tho athletic deparlment of the school and $60 to tho milk fund, to be given to the children who could not buy milk daily. The co-operation of the teachers was asked in this, to make it a benefit and a success. It is the desire of the league to have the raodnd around the library planted with bulbs, so that it will be a mass of bloom and beauty in the early spring when the visitors are within our gates. The mound was partially,.covered last,spring and was much admired. Mrs. G, L. Blackwell has charge of this park and has already planted a quantity of. bulbs but not a sufficient number to cover hthe mound. Anyone making a con tribution for this purpose and send ing bulbs to the library would be greatly appreciated by the league. This is something ?that all should be interested in for all enjoy their beauty alike and all should feel a personal pride in the beauty and up keep of Camden's streets and park?. If this organization maintains a Useful and permanent existence it must be and is democratic. It must be of the people, all the people, for all the people and directed by all the people. The more people enrolled the better the work of the league. Every section of the town should be repre sented and its interest considered im partially. And this promise is made, by the present management if given proper aid. The Civic League is planting to bring forth an abundant harvest not only for the City Beauti ful today but for a beautiful Camden tomorrow. Children are even* more responsive to the influence of what is really beautiful than are adults. Every child is possessed of the artis tic instinct to some degree an instinct that should be developed. Pleasing surroundings are very important; the love of beauty is the mark of health ful life, and the presence of beauty is a powerful influence in the develop ment of a healthful life. Something very nearly like religious fervor can be put into the zeal for city beauty sustaining it through long patience and slow work. We could* write On and on, but we close with a plea for a large and enthusiastic membership for the Civic League. 'Things You'll Miss? If you stay away from the circus: The clown band.
